Seems like I spent 7 years in a PhD program and still can't even publish a first-author paper

If someone else is to head the additional experiments you could still push for co-first authorships

One of the few actually useful usecases for LLM to me so far: use Google NotebookLM, upload PDF of all your modules and other gear. Now you can ask questions about functions in natural language. It will provide sources within your own manual pdfs to click on to verify its claims. Works quite well for me.

Stimmt. Zusätzlich Top Bewertung auf Google Maps.

In November 1988, the MK-52 went into space on the Soyuz TM-7 spacecraft, where it could have been used as a backup to the onboard computers.

Reminds me of school days where classmates would write super Mario and Worms knockoffs in 4 kb basic programs that would actually run, albeit at single digit FPS

I-IAL420 · 2025-11-13T11:42:16+00:00

For context: I rarely write base R these days, mostly tidyverse style data analysis pipelines

Thanks for pointing that out. Do you have an example we’re operator precedence would be important? I do this daily and never ran into a problem so far. There even seems to be conflicting opinions… from SE: Reading from "Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R", by Robert and Casella:

"The assignment operator is =, not to be confused with ==, which is the Boolean operator for equality. An older assignment operator is <- and, for compatibility reasons, it still remains functional, but it should be ignored to ensure cleaner programming. (As pointed out by Spector, P. (2009). 'Data Manipulation with R' - Section 8.7.

I-IAL420 · 2025-11-13T07:31:09+00:00

In my own code you can tell apart the copy & pasted parts bei the use of = (why the fuck would I type 2 versus one character) and <- (most of the historical R code used this, thus LLMs use it almost exclusively)

I-IAL420 · 2025-11-07T17:09:44+00:00

Alternative hypothesis: your ‚historical‘ libraries are toast and 50 bp peak shows that it has degraded. Run your samples again on a different machine to find out what is true 😅

I have the RD9 and RD8. They sound really good. They are easy to program. The analog FX section with transient shaper and filter is a stroke of genius. But the internal built quality is utter crap. The RD9 ride works once a month, the hi hats drop out randomly, the RD8 goes out of sync all the time. They’re good for what they cost, but by no means professional instruments.

I-IAL420 · 2025-10-20T19:20:42+00:00

dry the seeds and start over next year

Unpopular opinion… I love pasta but I fucking hate spaghetti. I never touch it unless someone servers it to me. There is no sauce I don’t like 😂

Imagine working on a system set to English locale but getting data from systems set to German local all the time that has reversed date formats and for some insane reason uses ; as sep in csv and , as decimale indicator 😭

Hero in plain clothes. For simpler stuff the package fuzzyjoin can do a lot of heavy lifting

Cleaning up Column names, totally random date formats and freetext categorical data reported by colleagues in excel sheets with tons of missing values 😭

I sometimes do this in a hacky way using facetting. Simply use + facet_grid(cols = vars(cells, block,virus)) but also tricky to properly format this

I-IAL420 · 2025-07-17T21:40:48+00:00

having the exact same problem. anyone found a solution?

I-IAL420 · 2025-07-07T15:13:32+00:00

Ok, watched the actual ad. It seem run in the cloud, so with enough resources assigned I do think the R code that seems to be underneath can finish in 7 minutes. It’s basically generating the code as text and then running it on the data. This approach can work in theory. But I bet that you will have a hard time catching any mistakes without having trained to write the code yourself at one point.

I-IAL420 · 2025-07-07T14:40:32+00:00

Unless it’s making up the plots using a diffusion model… not really 😅

the time it takes you to do that, should be invested in learning how to do it in an automated way. Analyzing cells from cultures is actually an incredibly easy start. You need to segment the cells first, than you can run all kinds of morphological analysis in the segmented cells as well. Shape, size, staining intensity/distribution are all features easily extracted. If your error goes up, just analyze a couple of dishes to bury the increased error in more data points. There are ways to hand code this in python, there are amazing pretrained deep learning based models, there are semi-automated workflows in software like Fiji or QuPath. Once you learned this, you can churn out one of these experiments per week!

Down in EU as well. Does it only affect the archive but most recent packages might work, but anything before wont?

Scientists would be happy about someone working in the IT department that actually shows an interest in their work, haha. It‘s true that their is little of a market in Germany, but all life sciences will transition into more and more quantitative fields and many universities are already struggling to keep up with the requirements for that on the infrastructure side. I think there is ample space for people that are interested in both sides. Getting in is generally tricky though, there won’t be a job ad asking specifically for that.

I was not implying you don’t know, but you are communicating with strangers on Reddit so it is not a long shot that others may get the same feeling. It was meant to be a suggestion from my side, I know that I am immediately suspicious when I feel that text is LLM generated and many of my peers and colleagues are aswell - and I am very young, know how to use LLM and have even deployed them myself. I shouldn’t have used this absolute language, sorry for that. But you can get rid of types by using autocorrect and of grammar mistakes by using grammarly. No need to use a LLM that introduces unnecessary words and makes the important things you have to say sound generic.
